6th Pick: Jonathan Isaac, Florida State

"A “tantalizing” prospect, Isaac has a rare combination of size, length, and fluidity for wing player, in many ways similar to Kevin Durant at the same age from a physical and skill standpoint; at 6’10.5” with a 9’0.5” standing reach … He has the size to play the four (and possibly even 5) when necessary and be a presence inside once his frame fills out, but he also runs the floor like a natural wing player … Isaac has long strides, is light on his feet, and can get up and down the floor in a hurry."

25th Pick: D.J. Wilson, Michigan

It was somewhat surprising to see D.J. Wilson keep his name in the NBA Draft. That certainly bodes well for his Draft prospects.

Wilson averaged 11.0 points and 5.3 rebounds last year for the Michigan Wolverines. He is a big and long power forward with above-average athleticism. Not Aaron Gordon, mind you, but with his length and speed, he definitely stands out. He certainly knew how to use that athleticism to get to the basket.

Wilson does not have much of an offensive game. He is still more a bundle of athletic energy. He should be able to play some strong defense with his frame and length. But other than that, he will need plenty of time to develop.
